lol, it's ONE season, folks...

I guess you should give Brad Stevens a call and tell him he is wrong about how important it is to get these kids back to campus, and the perception of flying charter. I'm sure he is waiting for your call.

You could also jump on Twitter and argue with AA and DJ about the importance of charter flights.

You don't think this can have an impact on recruiting, and spending more time in the away city isn't a big deal. I was just pointing out that college coaches and athletes disagree with you, you need get at it and let them know how wrong they are.

lol, I don't stalk our former players on Twitter....

Just every other teams forum.

Do you consult with teams seeing as you are more knowledgeable than brad Stevens and college ball players on recruiting and travel?

I understand its a bad season. However if we want to get back to being a top 25ish type team each year we need to keep up with the Jones's Like Gary Parrish or not he has already posted that not chartering is being used against us. I dont think he would put that out there unless he could back it up Chartering has had no effect on this season. You are missing the point. I have been tough on Pastner but if you dont give him a level playing field going forward how can you have high expectations?

One season with the worst attendance in 15 years. When they jacked the prices up and went to per seat they bet the house on basketball. Basketball pays for the scholarship of every student, and Bowen is worried about their travel expenses?

yes, sports fans like to talk sports with each other. No, just because someone played for the team you root for does not make them your buddy.

Facts like the fact that they reported actual attendance in 04-05, and tickets sold in every other year since 1992? Can't compare 04-05 to this year.

Got any more facts for us?

Keep dreaming.

I was there in 04-05 and I was there this year. Attendance was worse.

I donated 2500 for similar seats in 04-05 that cost 6300 this year. They bet the farm on basketball when they went to per seat and they can't afford to loose any more ground. Price doesn't reflect the product on the court.

And in other news, Memphis took a charter flight home from Cincinnati today, according to Matt Dillon. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Since it's been posted here that there were "NO" Chartered Flights --- clearly that's wrong.

Miserables don't like facts...

Program is not top notch...if they continue like this...put them on charter bus.
